Oneness - Thich Nhat Hanh

[Larry Robinson]

Oneness


The moment I die, 
I will try to come back to you 
as quickly as possible. 
I promise it will not take long. 
Isn’t it true 
I am already with you 
in every moment? 
I come back to you 
in every moment. 
Just look, 
feel my presence. 
If you want to cry, 
please cry. 
And know 
that I will cry with you. 
The tears you shed 
will heal us both. 
Your tears are mine. 
The earth I tread this morning 
transcends history. 
Spring and winter are both present in the moment. 
The young leaf and the dead leaf are really one. 
My feet touch deathlessness, 
and my feet are yours. 
Walk with me now. 
Let us enter the dimension of oneness 
and see the cherry tree blossom in winter. 
Why should we talk about death? 
I don’t need to die 
to be back with you.

	- Thich Nhat Hanh
